Stew turned 4!

 Our little Stew turned four a week ago.  We were all excited for this day to come, so that he could stop saying , " I want that for my birthday!" after every commercial he saw.  Even if it was for a girlie toy, he would say he wants that for his birthday.

Stew's personality has really started to come out lately and he has me cracking up constantly.  A few of my favorite things he has said this past week:

Stew - "When Daddy dies... can we get a little cat?"
Me- "Uh, sure. If Daddy dies then we can get a cat."
Stew- "Oh good. I know he isn't going to die today, but that will be fun to get a cat."

I overheard him say this while watching a cartoon on TV.  "Really!?!  A carrot that's a superhero? Really!?!"
(I'm with you on that Stew, it doesn't make sense.)

Oh, how I love this boy!


TOP 5
1. Ryan finally started to walk last week.  Hooray!  Now I don't have to worry about the knees in his pants wearing out quickly.

2. Evie saying "slash" as she talks.  For example, she said to me this morning, "What are our breakfast choices?  Toast, oatmeal, "slash" cereal? " It makes me smile every time.  I have no idea where she picked it up from.

3. Nice weather holding strong.  

4. Finally catching up on Survivor and Amazing Race.  

5. Amazon free ebooks.  How did I not know about this sooner?  

BOTTOM 5

1. Buying non-select-a-size paper towels.  Regular paper towels are huge and rarely do you need the full size. Argh.

2. Wanting to call Sunny several times and then remembering she is in Hawaii. Boo

3. Jaden got a spacer put in his mouth and he makes a sucking sound when he eats.  I no longer eat lunch with the boys.  (By the way, since when does a 5 yr old need to start prepping for braces?)

4. Taking Kathryn to the orthodontics since her dad was out of town.  Clearly, that Dr. is billing high prices. it was a crazy nice office.

5. Having a horrific dream that was too close to my recurring nightmare.  I really hope I don't start having both dreams as recurring nightmares.
